Frankenstein's Meme - Day 4

4. What are the origins of your penname/username?

My user name is very old... I made it up when I got online sometime around 1998 or so. It comes from my daughters' favorite fandom at the time - CATS, and my lifelong obsession with Alexander the Great. I have used variations of that name since then, some of them being alexthecat and alexcat45.

In old chatrooms at Yahoo, I unfortunately attracted Egyptian men who thought I was from Alexandria. Surprisingly, men who can barely type enough English to make any sense, still want online sex talk. Blargh. I was not the cat to mess with.

Someone in Russia owned the domain name alexcat and when you typed in alexcat dot com, you got a long listing of porn sites.

I forget that many of you probably don't know my given name, but oddly enough I answer to Alex in real life as well, having met several people who called me that.
(My name is Susan, by the way, if you want to use it.)

There you have it.

And I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t sit still or fix things and I wake up and I
wake up and you’re still dead
